tracing/function: Fix the return value of ftrace_trace_onoff_callback()
ftrace_trace_onoff_callback() will return an error even if we do the right operation, for example: # echo _spin_*:traceon:10 > set_ftrace_filter -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # cat set_ftrace_filter #### all functions enabled #### _spin_trylock_bh:traceon:count=10 _spin_unlock_irq:traceon:count=10 _spin_unlock_bh:traceon:count=10 _spin_lock_irq:traceon:count=10 _spin_unlock:traceon:count=10 _spin_trylock:traceon:count=10 _spin_unlock_irqrestore:traceon:count=10 _spin_lock_irqsave:traceon:count=10 _spin_lock_bh:traceon:count=10 _spin_lock:traceon:count=10 We want to set _spin_*:traceon:10 to set_ftrace_filter, it complains with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful. This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes virtually written. Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case. If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned. So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured. The fix also applies on 2.6.30 Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
